Prince William Will Strip Prince Harry & Meghan’s Kids of ‘HRH’ writes RICHARD EDEN

June 26, 2025 — The royal rumor mill is once again ablaze after Daily Mail columnist and royal insider Richard Eden made a striking admission: he believes Prince William will formally strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children of their HRH titles, and that his own tip-off to the Palace played a direct role in accelerating that decision.

Eden’s comments, made via social media and echoed in recent commentary, claim he alerted senior royal aides to what he called a “betrayal” that “flabbergasted” the Palace — referring to Meghan’s alleged continued use of her Her Royal Highness styling, despite the 2020 Sandringham Agreement forbidding it.

“I think William will strip Harry and Meghan’s children of their HRH titles after I alerted the Palace to a betrayal that flabbergasted them. It’s all my fault,” Eden wrote.

Meghan’s Use of HRH: A Royal Red Line?

Under the 2020 agreement brokered by Queen Elizabeth II, Harry and Meghan agreed to no longer use their HRH titles after stepping down as senior working royals. While they retained the titles in name, they were barred from using them in official or commercial capacities.

However, reports recently surfaced that Meghan has continued to sign personal messages and letters using “HRH The Duchess of Sussex” — a move insiders say has “deeply offended” royal traditionalists.

This reportedly reached the ears of Prince William through Eden’s warning — and has now reignited long-standing plans to formally remove the HRH styles from Archie and Lilibet, who were automatically granted prince and princess titles after Queen Elizabeth’s passing.

William’s Modern Monarchy Vision

Royal sources say Prince William, preparing for future kingship, is committed to a “streamlined monarchy” — one that limits HRH status to working royals actively serving the Crown.

• Archie and Lilibet were granted princely titles by right of birth under King Charles III’s reign.
• However, those titles remain symbolic, with no accompanying royal duties, prompting critics to argue the styling is inconsistent with William’s modern vision.
• Stripping HRH titles would not remove the prince/princess titles entirely, but it would demote their official standing and prevent use of the more formal address.

Palace “Flabbergasted” by Eden’s Claim

Eden’s bold admission has caused a stir, with some royal watchers praising his honesty while others accuse him of meddling in delicate family affairs. According to reports, Kensington Palace aides were “flabbergasted” by Meghan’s decision to continue using HRH, especially while suing British media and engaging in high-profile appearances.

Eden claims his alert to these activities “shocked” insiders enough to prompt private discussions about updating royal protocols — especially when William ascends the throne.

Final Thoughts

Whether or not Richard Eden’s tip-off was the spark, it’s clear the Royal Family is re-evaluating who gets to be royal in title — and in function. As Prince William eyes a leaner monarchy and greater accountability, the symbolic power of titles like HRH could soon face the same fate as other outdated traditions.

And if Eden’s claim is true, the decision to reshape the royal family’s image may have been set in motion by a single whisper to the Palace — one that could rewrite the future titles of Harry and Meghan’s children
